These Heart Pouches work up quickly in one piece, and the only sewing is for the button. They will comfortably hold a gift card and other small gifts. You can find the base pattern here on my website or in my Etsy.

Heart Pouches are great for Valentine’s Day but changing up the theme and colors you can use it for more occasions!

I thought a pencil modification would be so adorable! Great for teachers’ gifts and even class favors. These would also work well with the Teacher Themed Patches in my Etsy Shop.

A cute teacher themed button makes the perfect accessory to this crocheted Pencil Heart Pouch.

Materials:

  • H 5mm hook
  • Cotton or Acrylic Yarn in Black, Beige, Yellow, Grey and Black. I used I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby.
  • Heart Pouch Pattern found in my Etsy or Website
  • ¾” – 1” buttons. 

Make the heart pouch as directed in the pattern with the following color changes. You can cut the yarn after each color change except for the grey, wait until you complete all the Rounds.

Rounds 1-2: Black

Rounds 3-4: Beige

Rounds 5-9: Black

Rounds 10-11: Grey (DO NOT fasten off!***)

Remaining Rounds: Pink

***When doing the Slip Stitches at the end, switch back to grey after the 2 bumps.

Fasten off and weave in all ends.

One of the best parts of the heart pouch pattern besides being one piece is that it appears seamless!

And one of my favorite parts about this pattern is the seamless look! It works up in one piece and the only sewing required is for the button.

Adding a faux leather patch or feltie to the back side of the Heart Pouch will take them to the next level!

These pouches are the perfect size to hold a 2×2” patch on the back side. The ones shown are available in 12 colors in my Etsy shop. They are available individually or in a kit with all three styles and three pairs of buttons.
